I finally installed Stylus because the default UI of Mastodon is a low-contrast homoglyph mess.

My styles, if you wanna copy:
“`
@-moz-document domain(“[your instance domain]”) {
html {
scrollbar-color: rgba(255,255,255,.5) rgba(0,0,0,.1);
}
body.system-font {
font-family: Cabin;
}
.status__content, .compose-form .autosuggest-textarea__textarea {
font-size: 1rem;
}
}
“`

Oh goody! We're gonna collectively speedrun the age verification curve! Spoiler alert: working age verification that does what it's intended to do is very difficult and we already spent 10+ years figuring this out but the idiots in Congress just have to engage in performative bullshit because voters demand performative bullshit. https://www.pcmag.com/news/senate-bill-would-require-social-media-age-verification-for-everyone

My wife’s coworker (who teaches several computer science classes at the HS) found out I’m a software engineer, and asked her “What’s she do? Full stack, front end?”

She texted to ask and I promptly and without thinking responded “Front end in the streets, full stack in the sheets”.

I’m proud of that, as nonsensical as it was, because apparently it made him snort coffee.

We’re at the “first they came for the transgender people, but I wasn’t transgender so…” stage of fascism. Believe me, there have already been canaries in the coal mine that been checked off Fascists’ lists (POC, those with disabilities, assorted other Useless Eaters). They’re ticking down the list, and your whiteness or wealth will not protect you. Fight now.

Twitter is dying, but my advocacy work helping trans people raise money via fundraisers depends on my five years of work I’ve spent writing on Twitter, so I need help.

If you’re a trans person who needs help raising money for any reason, reply to this toot with your fundraiser. I’ll reach out.

If you’re a cis person and you can, please boost this post so your trans followers can see it.
